How was everyone’s Monday? Mine was long yet productive day. Great way to start the work week! It also seems to be a productive day for the authors of these new themes and plugins in today’s roundup. Check them out!
Meditating on The 4 Freedoms of GPL (and Free Software)
We’re gearing up for an incredible WordCamp here in Atlanta and because I’m part of the organizing team I have to review nearly everything that goes into making this thing “work” – and it’s a lot of work, believe you me! But it’s an incredible amount of fun and I’m having a blast with Judi Knight, Carel Bekker, and Russell Fair as we build this thing together with a lot of community help. One of the things that has been interesting in the launch of WordCamp is the adherence to the GPL – which we all know has recently caused a […]
hhhhold – Placeholders for Your Design, Dev
John Brown submitted an announcement about his first ever WordPress plugin and I thought it was neat enough to get some press here, especially since it is his first, which is a big deal – so congrats on that John! What is hhhhold? It’s simple: A placeholder for random content to stress test a design. Placeholder scripts aren’t new and neither is Brown’s execution here but I like how they are being created and presented from user-generated content. It’s simple to use too with the following size parameters:
An Interview With Will Norris of Google Open Source
Will Norris, who we’ve briefly highlighted before, is the subject of our interview today. He’s a long time WordPress user and is a strong proponent for Open Source development.

Premium Themes: Buy Them Based on Community
There are so many great themes out there. How on earth do you choose the right one? I think it’s almost like buying a home or a car really. You need to come up with your list of most desired features, nice-to-haves, and most likely price. This list is different for most, but there’s something I think should be on everyone’s list that is most likely over-looked. Community: I think that community should be at the top of the list. I would argue that it should be in your top 3 at least. For me personally it looks like this: SEO […]

WPDai.ly – Our New URL Shortener
We are constantly experimenting internally with our site and the technology that surrounds it so that we might be able to up the user experience and community engagement when possible. This might be major design overhauls (which we hope to do later this year), adding a responsive layout (yes, we have an explanation), or simple tweaks to the existing design to increase overall performance. Today we’re pleased to announce a small but significant user experience update to our overall brand by using a new URL shortener, wpdai.ly – we are using the free service bit.ly to help facilitate this simple […]
